Armstead T. Johnson High School

Armstead T. Johnson High School is a historic high school complex for African-American students located near Montross, Westmoreland County, Virginia. The main building was built in 1937, and is a one-story, U-shaped Colonial Revival style brick building. Contributing structures on the property include the one-story, frame Industrial Arts Building and the one-story, frame Home Economics Cottage. At a time when the state had a policy of legal racial segregation in public schools, this was among the first purpose-built high schools for African Americans on the Northern Neck of Virginia. The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, is now operated as a museum to preserve the history and legacy of education for African-American students in the Northern Neck, especially in Westmoreland County. It has collections, artifacts, memorabilia, and other materials related to this period.
